Parallelism is the use of successive, consecutive verbal constructions especially in poetry and literary works. They correspond in it's grammatical structure, sound and meter of the work.
Henry David Walden wrote the poem "Walden" talks of a reflection in living among nature and peaceful existence. It talks of the time when Thoreau went to live in isolation, building his own cabin and cultivating his own food and sustenance. His main objective was to show that a man's true nature is hidden among all the busy hustle of big city living. When he says
<em>He </em><em>will put</em><em> some things behind, </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>pass</em><em> an invisible boundary . . . and he </em><em>will live </em><em>with the license of a higher order of beings.</em>
he uses the rhetorical device of parallelism with his use of the word "will".
